Description: SportingNews.com's Clifton Brown reports that Brooking has signed with the Cowboys. He spent his first 11 seasons with the Falcons, playing both outside and middle linebacker.

Insight: Obviously this is a first step in Dallas' defensive youth movement, as the team appears to be going from 35-year-old Zach Thomas to 33-year-old Brooking. Expect the former Falcon to man an inside spot in Dallas' 3-4 front, but taking on more blockers than he's probably used to could make for a tough adjustment. He's a late-round IDP option at best.

Description: NFL Network's Steve Wyche reports that the Falcons could rotate players at each outside linebacker spot, which would obviously limit the value of starters Keith Brooking and Michael Boley. Neither is a strong IDP choice anyway. (SportsBuff.com)
